Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

Full to the brim with fun for all the family, the Caribe Royale is a spectacular resort in the theme park capital of the world. Just a short drive from some of Orlando’s best parks, you can be zipping around those rollercoasters before you know it. But it’s not all about the location. You’ve got pool complete with water slide, plus one for the kids. You have a choice of where to eat and drink all throughout the day and night, or opt for a night-in and enjoy room service in the comfort of your home-from-home. And when the nights roll in, you can put your feet up and watch some movies under the stars.

Our last visit was a weekend getaway for my husband's birthday, and you hit it out of the park. Thank you! Read less

This was my second stay at the Caribe Royale Orlando, and it was just as fantastic as the first! From check-in to handling our requests, the service was excellent—prompt, friendly, and attentive. We had dinner at the Stadium Club, where the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. Later, we enjoyed drinks at the Rum Bar, and it was amazing—great atmosphere and even better cocktails. The resort is huge, offering plenty of amenities and dining options to keep you entertained. The heated pool was a nice touch, especially after a long day, and the room we stayed in—a villa—was spotless, spacious, and so comfortable that I could genuinely live there if I had the chance! I highly recommend Caribe Royale Orlando to anyone looking for a mix of relaxation and fun. This resort has everything you need for a great stay, and I will most certainly be back for a third visit. Five stars all the way! Read less

Our on line booking price was $350 for a 2 night stay Add in extras, fees, taxes and parking and it’s magically up to $550. Cheap bait & switch trick - didn’t impress me. Venetian chop house was also disappointingly average. Room was nice enough. Beds were comfortable. Gym was a 7/10 per my resident expert. Heavy dumbbells big plus.
